The Minister for Primary Industries, Ian Macdonald, and the Director Emergency and Strategic Response, Graeme Eggleston, being interviewed by the media at Narrabri during the recent locust plague.
The Public Affairs and Media Unit plays an active role in promoting the NSW Department of Primary Industries through the print and electronic media. The Unit's staff are located across the state, and act as contact points for journalists.
The key role of the Unit is to liaise with the local, state and national media to ensure that:
- the Department's achievements are publicised;
- timely information is distributed widely through the media.
The Unit also produces a monthly newspaper, Agriculture Today, and a quarterly magazine, The Bush Telegraph.
